Added by magataganm, 12 Oct 2016 Erik Satie's Gymnopédie #1. Satie's Gymnopedies are what many consider to be the groundwork for today's ambient music; it's as ignorable as it is interesting (although, I find it hard to ignore such great music). These three beautiful pieces for solo piano are calming, reflective, ethereal, relaxing, soothing, and elegant. Gymnopedie No. 1 - Lent et douloureux (slow and mournfully) with a hollow, but eerily warm melody gently floating atop an accompaniment of steady short-long rhythms, Gymnopedie No. 1 is as expressive as it is transparent. Its simplicity and openness masterfully disguises its apparent dissonances. Although originally created for Solo Piano, I created this arrangement for Viola and Classical Guitar.
